Two awesome things:
1. The location was perfect. Plenty of shops and restaurants around, lively night scene with friendly people all around, easy to get around from here.
2. Evan's welcome packet was excellent, packed with useful information that we carried with us for the rest of our stay in Bangkok and learned a lot from.
Two problems:
1. The building and particularly the apartment reeked of sewage, and the apartment has no windows. We tried turning on and off the fan and AC but the stench wouldn't leave. We found it hard to fall asleep that night, and woke up to more of the same smell. We hope this was a one time occurrence and that Evan can fix the issue.
2. Our apartment was on the 5th floor of a building with no elevators. It would have been nice to know, because it wasn't easy to lug 4 pieces of luggage between the two of us up all those stairs. Again, there might be others rooms available in this building, so maybe you can request one of those. Or simply ask Evan beforehand.
